Hence my original question . Our dojo cross trains with other grappling, judo, ground guys etc quite a bit, but isn't what I would call pragmatically orientated. Most dojo's here say that they offer practical karate but I would say most are competition driven.

Not to say guys aren't open to close-in bunkai, it is just a bit of a pradigm shift, so hopefully I will be able to find a couple like minded people. Will let you know!
